Most rain barrels on the market don't fully utilize the water they hold because the spigot is located about halfway up the barrel. This allows buckets to be filled but leaves about a quarter of the water standing behind, which can be hazardous. Barrels with optimally located spigots don't allow room for filling buckets and leave hoses as the only option for drainage. The Rain Wizard Universal Stand solves these issues by lifting and supporting the rain barrel off the ground. With the increased elevation, buckets can be easily placed below the spigot without awkward tilting or maneuvering, and the barrel can drain at a much faster rate. The Universal Stand will fit nearly every rain barrel produced by Good Ideas with a round 19 to 26 inch base (currently excludes Riverwalk, Savannah, and Amphora series). The structured core is designed to hold over 1000 pounds of water weight, and the stand is available in a wide variety of colors to conveniently match your home or barrel. This large base measures 24.75D X 28.75W X 14.75H. Please measure your barrel to ensure a proper fit.

Very good quality and works well with our barrel.. Nicole. Phoenicia, NY. Wed Apr 15 2026

Perfect for collecting water and watering plants in backyard. Filled up quickly.. Emily. Virginia. Sun May 31 2026

This rain barrel is sturdy and one of the most eye-catching rain barrels on the market. Its unique, slate rock surface creates a natural texture that shows how this barrel can be more artful in aesthetics instead of an obvious utility product. With a deep-well top, you can plant an array of floral arrangements or even a small herb or vegetable garden. The top also includes good ideas, and an original, integrated overflow channel. This channel automatically diverts all overflow water to the front of the barrel and keeps your foundation from flooding. This screen keeps out heavy debris and insects for your peace of mind.

We installed this rain barrel today, just in time for a major storm, which gave us the perfect opportunity to see how it performed in real-world conditions. Initially, we noticed water overflowing from the top of the barrel. After some troubleshooting, we discovered that the mesh liner included with the unit was not allowing water to flow through properly. Once we removed the mesh liner, the rain barrel worked exactly as expected and handled the rainfall without issue. The barrel itself looks great and blends beautifully with the brick exterior of our home. It has a much more attractive appearance than many of the plastic rain barrels we’ve seen. Our only concern is that without the included mesh liner, we’ll need to find an alternative solution to keep insects, mosquitoes, and small animals out while still allowing water to flow freely into the barrel. It would be helpful if the manufacturer offered a more effective screening solution that doesn’t restrict water flow during heavier rain events. Since we just installed the rain barrel, we have not yet had the opportunity to test the spigot and hose connection to see how well water flows out for watering plants and gardens. If those components perform as expected, we’ll be very pleased with the overall product. Overall, we’re very happy with the appearance and functionality of the rain barrel, but the included mesh liner may need to be redesigned or improved to prevent overflow issues during heavier rain..

Or use the additional spigot as an overflow into a second barrel. Who knew you could have so many features in a rain barrel? Impress your friends and neighbors with this product.

This was even better looking than I thought it would be. It looks beautiful. However, customers should know that there is no opening for a diverter hose from a downspout. And there are no instructions for setting up other than the spigots. It seems like it is designed to just sit anywhere and gather rain, which would take forever. We needed to cut a hole through the screen on top in order to insert the hose from our diverter.. Mary An. DE. Wed May 20 2026

Looks great. Feels very heavy duty. Almost impossible to get screws out of the top drain area to get to parts shipped inside barrel. I had to punch more holes in the top to drain better.. Jenmom. St. John’s Fl. Thu Jun 11 2026
